Tuition and Fees

The following Tuition and Fee charges are per semester for the academic year effective March 22, 2023. The Tuition and Fees are subject to annual review, and ECPI reserves the right to make changes in Tuition and Fees. These figures are provided by way of estimate only, and to help you budget your potential educational costs as an ECPI student. This is not an exhaustive list of all potential charges to you as an ECPI student. These costs and amounts are subject to change.

*Programs offered at the Northern Virginia campus are an additional $240 per semester

**Per credit cost is in addition to Full Time tuition cost

^Northern Virginia rate not applicable

**Includes: books, uniforms, student activity fees, malpractice insurance, lab fees, and computer-assisted instruction

To complete the Program requirements in a timely manner, student must be enrolled full-time and carry a minimum load of 12 semester credit hours and a maximum of 18 credit hours per semester. If student takes an academic overload consisting of more than 18 credit hours, this may change the eligibility for financial aid assistance in future semesters, which may result in greater out-of-pocket expenses. If student takes an overload of more than 18 credits, they will be assessed additional charges in that semester. Student is responsible for checking with the Financial Aid office to determine the impact of schedule changes.

The Technology Fee includes use of mobile computer devices with damage insurance, learning platforms, technology support, and other technology equipment necessary to complete courses. Technology devices are provided for select programs.³

¹All students attend ECPI on a full-time basis, unless an exception is approved by a campus official.

²As a result of ECPI University GREEN commitment and to provide the best value in education resources, ECPI University has implemented textbook recycling and extensive use of electronic textbooks. Arrangements have been made with publishers to access their content at heavily discounted rates and make it available to you at the start of each term. You will have extended access (2-4 years) to core course textbooks. A student may opt out and acquire textbooks on their own. If student prefers to own their textbook, they are available for purchase from the ECPI University bookstore, or other retailers. Federal regulations require that students be allowed to acquire books and supplies from other sources.

³Most courses have online resources available, and many courses utilize mobile computing devices such as tablets and notebook PCs. Students will be charged for any resources not returned or damaged per the Technology Borrower’s Agreement for Students.

⁴CALIFORNIA STUDENT TUITION RECOVERY FUND (CA residents only). The State of California established the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) to relieve or mitigate economic loss suffered by a student in an educational program at a qualifying institution, who is or was a California resident while enrolled, or was enrolled in a residency program, if the student enrolled in the institution, prepaid tuition, and suffered an economic loss. Unless relieved of the obligation to do so, you must pay the state-imposed assessment for the STRF, or it must be paid on your behalf, if you are a student in an educational program, who is a California resident, or are enrolled in a residency program, and prepay all or part of your tuition. You are not eligible for protection from the STRF, and you are not required to pay the STRF assessment, if you are not a California resident, or are not enrolled in a residency program. It is important that you keep copies of your enrollment agreement, financial aid documents, receipts, or any other information that documents the amount paid to the school. Questions regarding the STRF may be directed to the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education, 1747 North Market Blvd., Suite 225, Sacramento, California, 95834, (916) 574-8900 or (888) 370-7589. To be eligible for STRF, you must be a California resident or enrolled in a residency program, prepaid tuition, paid or deemed to have paid the STRF assessment, and suffered an economic loss as a result of any of the following: (1) The institution, a location of the institution, or an educational program offered by the institution was closed or discontinued, and you did not choose to participate in a teach-out plan approved by the Bureau or did not complete a chosen teach-out plan approved by the Bureau. (2) You were enrolled at an institution or a location of the institution within the 120-day period before the closure of the institution or location of the institution or were enrolled in an educational program within the 120-day period before the program was discontinued. (3) You were enrolled at an institution or a location of the institution more than 120 days before the closure of the institution or location of the institution, in an educational program offered by the institution as to which the Bureau determined there was a significant decline in the quality or value of the program more than 120 days before closure. (4) The institution has been ordered to pay a refund by the Bureau but has failed to do so. (5) The institution has failed to pay or reimburse loan proceeds under a federal student loan program as required by law or has failed to pay or reimburse proceeds received by the institution in excess of tuition and other costs. (6) You have been awarded restitution, a refund, or other monetary award by an arbitrator or court, based on a violation of this chapter by an institution or representative of an institution, but have been unable to collect the award from the institution. (7) You sought legal counsel that resulted in the cancellation of one or more of your student loans and have an invoice for services rendered and evidence of the cancellation of the student loan or loans. To qualify for STRF reimbursement, the application must be received within four (4) years from the date of the action or event that made the student eligible for recovery from STRF. A student whose loan is revived by a loan holder or debt collector after a period of non-collection may, at any time, file a written application for recovery from STRF for the debt that would have otherwise been eligible for recovery. If it has been more than four (4) years since the action or event that made the student eligible, the student must have filed a written application for recovery within the original four (4) year period, unless the period has been extended by another act of law. However, no claim can be paid to any student without a social security number or a taxpayer identification number.
